Wow. From Syd Barrett to Napalm Death to Unwound and Boards of Canada, John Peel had quite the taste in music
You said it right man!
Aye. Nick Drake and The Black Dog spring to mind too.
..And on tonight's program we have a new session from The Fall
One of his faves was Captain Beefheart.
He also had a taste in young children.....
Brilliant arranger of chords to melody and very unique lyrics.
You can tell Syd is a pure artist.
For sure !!!
Them chord changes are really interesting he came a long way from piper
What a nice touch hearing syd and david singing together. he really cared about syd that is for sure
It would be but it wasn't; it was Syd double tracked.
This is amazing! He sounds so much more together than even on his solo albums! Fantastic.
He was a true one off..loved him since my teens,I'm 49 now
The musicians accompanying Syd, who plays acoustic electric and slide guitar, are Jerry Shirley (Humble Pie) - bongos/percussion, Dave Gilmour bass and organ.
barely bear Nice of Dave
Gilmour really did go above and beyond to help Syd thru Pink Floyd and post Floyd, Rick Wright also helped, Roger Waters helped a little on Madcap but bailed and Gilmour/Wright persisted with helping Syd until he retired (Exactly what real friends do for each other) Shine on Syd....
@ nobody showed up in 74 at abbey road, so he walked it home to Cambridge.
@@Sandwich13455 Yeah pretty sure thr Floyd where making a little album called Dark side of the Moon at that point also doing things like Pompeii and general gigging.. By 74 Syd was a non entity until a few years later when he walked in on them doing wish you were here, and that was the last contact they had with him, Gotta take your hat off to Gilmour and Wright for doing both Syd's albums while in the middle of their own stuff, Roger didn't want to do the Barrett album coz he's a prick..
@ what year was his gigs with starz?
Barrett sounds far more “together” here than he gets credits for and his songwriting was still excellent at this point. It’s a shame he couldn’t have a consistent group of sympathetic support musicians around him throughout 1970-71. It might have given him more momentum to keep going with recording and doing more radio sessions, even if live tours were too much for him.
Roger Waters and David Gilmour produced Syds The Madcap laughs album and David Gilmour and Richard Wright produced his second solo album and played on it. They did support him, they encouraged him just to keep on singing. You can hear them on the first solo album encouraging him to keep going after false starts .
@@andalltheangelssay212 Problem is, after they got bigger, they never checked up on Syd, never called him or anything. They just let him be alone which I think is really shitty. They also did a terrible job mixing some of the tracks on Madcap and using worse takes on Barrett. Wined and Dined from Opel is waaaaay better. Just Syd and his acoustic, better vocals, thats how most of madcap was. Syd and an acoustic.
Well, people literally tried to help him out, the two albums, etc. He was just not all there. Wouldn't tour, wouldn't seemingly want to do anything much really.
@@Valientlink The released version of Wined and Dined is absolutely fantastic, I don't know how you could thing otherwise. Dave's solo and lead guitar is very tastefully done and the full organ, bass and acoustic guitar arrangement is also very nicely done. They did check up on him, Dave literally made sure he got the royalty money even though he signed a contract releasing him from the band, accompanied him here (he plays bass and organ) and on his only solo concert where he abruptly left the stage after a few songs, produced parts of Madcap and Barrett. They looked after him as much as they could, but after a while, you have to just let go
@@Syfoll I'm not saying it's bad but Syd's vocals are a lot weaker, it's got that stoned Mandrax type of sound. Opel is just Syd and his guitar which is how I like it best, which is why I prefer Madcap as an album overall the most.
Awesome stuff - a true musical genius if ever there was one - Syd Barrett
Tru dah
Much prefer Pink Floyd with Syd. A true English eccentric with an whimsical style, that would fit nicely in children's cartoons, or novels, who was influential to Marc Bolan, MGMT, and Temples, and any modern psychedelic band that is around today. Deeply missed ♥♥
And Gong, not new, Davead (sp?) Alen
and David Bowie, and even Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), and Wire, and I'd guess Peter Gabriel. Also John Frusciante, Soft Boys, Damned, endless bands, even Pearl Jam (check their cover of Interstellar Overdrive) - also Tame Impala
Agreed. Pipers, saucepan, Arnold Lane, see emily play are the music that still interest me today.
That's it! From whimsy to power-psychedelic-pop in the swoosh of 5 chords. Syd was a genteel lore machine with a magnetic field as wide as the sixties. 🤩😛
Very true.
My dog was killed today by a car,I'm terribly sad. Listening to Two of a Kind makes me feel better. Thank you, Syd.
Jeff Stewart ah man that’s tough. Your dog can’t be replaced but Some day another one will be there for you. they all have their own personalities and most of them grow on us and we get very attached. Nothing quite like the first one....but close!
Jeff Stewart lost my guineapig last Monday.Sorry bout your dog.It hurts man
~ Jaskasses zip up and down side roads like they're on a race track; some people are disgusting.
Oh I’m sorry. Blessings to Woof Spirit Angel x
so sorry i know that hurts hope you feel better soon
he had the most inventive timings ever in music genius in this regard for sure
Absolute magic in every way. His style was so simple, yet whimsical without going too far. It seems as though many of his contemporaries took note.
Love his chord progressions syd was special in so many ways ,
Great session, Syd was such a great guitar player as well as poet
.
Syd was so unique, and a treasure, God bless his soul, RIP Syd, you made millions so happy and still do. Thanks for the upload..cheers!
Thank goodness this exists. I hope there's more that's still yet to be uncovered.
It makes me think that his insanity was played up by the band for publicity. These versions are dead on and not a picture of someone falling apart like the studio versions were.
Through the early mid seventies, the subject was taboo but when the fascination of the public grew the rest of the band seemed happy to go on about him for reasons anyone can speculate.
Syd avoided the Tavistock doctors. The Floyd sold out and they sold Syd out. The Beatles were also a Tavistock creation. The rabbit hole runs deep and Syd avoided being the pied piper of the acid movement. He knew the masses were going to be led into a pit. He's a true artist. Not to say he didn't go overboard with mandrax and acid but he was nothing close to a casualty.
Yes glad you senses that. They used him like a carnival attraction .Which is why I consider post Barrett Floyd to be elevator music.
Syd Barrett hat 52 Songs geschrieben. Syd und Pink Floyd haben gut zusammengepasst. Die erste Platte The Piper..... ist eine gute Platte. Leider hatte er die falschen Freunde gehabt. Er hat mehrmals in der Woche LSD genommen. Das hält kein Gehirn aus,das ist zuviel !! Man hat Syd rausgeschmissen. Leider hat er nichts daraus gelernt und hat weiterhin Drogen genommen.
Syd wurde letargisch.
Er lebte nicht im hier und jetzt.
Er konnte nicht mehr den richtigen Tonleiter spielen.
Er wollte die Wände hochklettern.
Er wollte eine Sekte gründen.
Er wollte seine Gitarre 🎸 auf den Kopf seiner Schwester Rosmary schlagen.
Mit 22 Jahren war Syd ein kranker Mensch.
Es gibt keine Bewusstseinserweiterung durch Drogen. Genau das Gegenteil ist der Fall. Dein Bewusstsein wird immer kleiner enger und gestörter.
Drogensucht ist eine geistige Erkrankung!!!
Er ist als Maler und Musiker gescheitert.
Die Psychiatrie war damals noch nicht soweit.
Mich interessiert wie Syd mit seiner Krankheit gelebt hat???
Das Krankheitsbild ändert sich von Mitte 20 Jahren oder Mitte 40 oder 50 Jahren.
🎞️🎥 Man sollte sein ganzes Leben verfilmen.
Syd lebte leider in einem inneren und äußeren Gefängnis.
Ich weiß nicht ob er jemals Erlösung oder Frieden für seine Seele gefunden hat ???
His songs still give me such emotions.. today more than years ago. I think he made modern music we didn't understand at the time
This is a man who could still write in his original style I think Syd got fed up with the fame and preferred art and doing things his way I hope Syd found peace in later life love the way Syd plays guitar and his unusual chords and lead style
Hell of a hook in that Gigolo Aunt. When I listen to Syd too much I start to have strange thoughts(!) But love his work so much.
Envious Fred I feel depressed because I feel so sorry for Syd
thumbs up for strange thoughts!
You’re in the right place Fred
Me too! And strange dreams, and bit of paranoia.
Thanks Vibracobra23 for posting this gem. I never heard "Two of a Kind" before but what a great song. I'm surprised he didn't play my favourite acoustic song by Syd Barrett, "Golden Hair".
So surreal hearing Syd and David together.
Except, it's not.
@@RadioMartyT1B Who's playing with him here?
Except it really is...@@RadioMartyT1B
This music will keep Syd ever present
I love this version of Baby Lemonade more than the other!
These Peel sessions Syd was awesome
Was never able to find this ... coming to 30 years soon looking ... all compilations, even the box set with the extra ´Opel` cd which is a must ... later being my favourire Barrett song in its unfinnished hypnotic beauty ... thanks a lot for this !
loved syd voice ..
His English is excellent . And he never sings out of tune,
me too. so much.
Effervescing Elephant!!!
Pure brilliance ~ what a live take of Syd this is. Jah Bless John Peel, quite the archive of performers on his books.
This gold here is the reason I love RUclips ~ RIP Syd Barrett ~
Exactly. I’ll be 50 in 2 months and have never heard this recording. I’ve heard his solo albums but this is even better than them. I’d love to know who is with him on this. It sounds like him and just one other bloke.
@@douglasfernandez7737 David Gilmour
This is a rare treat this happy new year everyone or rather hippy new year love syd and dave together brilliant stuff x
@@douglasfernandez7737 syd barrett,david gilmour,and jerry shirley
I remember it well. My last year in school. Got this on cassette somewhere. ✌️🐝
this is unbelievable!!! respect and gratitude for the uploader...thank you from Greece...
That moment after you grow out of your angsty phase and realize who was actually the coolest one.
he was too cool they didnt get him and he didnt do it for fame not into the ego rock star thing so he left as he felt uninspired to lip synch on top of the pops etc
The best song syd ever wrote was see emily play in 1967 loved it then and still do think norman smith did an exellent job producing this
Truly excellent 50 years on.
Syd was like a blind painter, a deaf musician...a mute poet; in that he had so much in his head; yet he couldn't fully imagine his visions.
But it was all there. Music, poetry and art were his gift but at the same time....his curse. He'll always be one of my artistic heroes.
...realise his visions.
and was like a guy who took too much acid.
I heard Syd had Synesthesia, the ability to see shapes/colors through sound. It really explains a lot if you think about his music AND the fact that he was an actually talented painter already before he picked up a guitar and then consider him tripping. Makes you wonder if he was “painting” with his playing.
Terrapin is great.
I hear a lot of folk in Syds stuff. I’m never sure whether i grieve for what he may have done or celebrate that he had a go at it and produced what he did
This is great stuff! Syd was perfectly imperfect - that is what I loved about him. He never compromised to suit others!
what gibberish. Guess he couldn't compromise....after all the acid
after Hendrix the most creative and unique guitar players are Syd Barrett, Zappa, John Frusiante, Snakefinger. It is sad that Barrett ended up in such a way. When you think about it Joy Division, Sonic Youth and many, many more won't be possible, without him leading the way.
do t forget Donovan,Lennon y Nick Drake. also Dale Brown
Really, ... Hendrix and then Syd. Hmmm. Not even close.
Gavril Hlutev Not to mention Peter Hammill🙄
Keith Levene from Public Image Limited has got to be up there too for sure.
Syd Zappa,even Hendrix...pretty terrible.....Nick drake, Levine,two actually very very good guitarists, both technique and originality -wise. ...anyone can play like Hendrix...for me he was a better songwriter than guitarist.....not getting the Joy Division connection at all?
Track sequence so good and everything, this runs so smooth thank you!
When Barrett detuned his guitar on stage the rest of the band missed the point.They thought"You can't do that on stage" and panicked. As an artist he may have thought, why go through the pretense of playing it the same old way or was tired of the diatonic scale.In hind sight they should have gave Syd 'cart blanche', let him do whatever he wanted. "Vegetable Man" and "Scream Thy Last Scream" are the missing links on the album "Saucer Full of Secrets" and would have pointed that record directly at the shape of music to come.
Yeaaaaa, sure. It wasn't the fact that he was unable to function properly
I don't think he tuned his guitar to certain key, he just detuned it to the point where non of the strings were in tune with each other, how could the band play along with that?
Did I say that?
@@cucluu3579 Very carefully
Don't forget 'In The Beechwoods' as another track missed from the Saucerful Of Secrets stable...
Thanks for uploading this. Wonderful.
Arranjos maravilhosos . Que artista completo era Syd Barret !!
Syd was a genius.
He was/is the sound of acid as Salvador Dali was the vision of it . A wonderful texture to life.
The sound and vision of LSD is the universe bro. Not man.
sounds ace, sounds liKe Syd is rocking and in a full sunny groove, its all on, its Rosey its a beautiful day!
Very cool..thank you!
Syd learned guitar as a youngster from listening to artists like Bo Diddley, Skip James, Lightning Hopkins, Pink Anderson, Floyd Counsel. This music was the basis that inspired him. He understood it, and took it further and further and further...until he developed his own brilliant style....and then he brought it back to simplicity in his last recordings. And then he decided his brilliant work as a musician was done. A TRUE artist!
"all my blues dispersed"
Stupendous!
Love this! Thank you.
Efferversing Elephant! Delightful. Only ever heard the album versions of these songs. sheesh. 1970 till now is a lifetime...
It's quite funny to notice that he inverted some phrases in the lyrics of Baby Lemonade
Jorji Costava He also used some of those same lines in other songs (like Octopus). He was a brilliant musician. The people who spiked his food & drink should rot in hell.
Anyone notice Roger Waters used some of the lyrics or ideas from Baby Lemonade. For wish you were here??
@@kathybreakwell847 Ah hah! You're right… the cold steel rail. I noticed unconciously, but your comment helped to bring it to my conscious mind, such as it is.
@@Kowasi Yes EXACTLY right.. I often wonder if Dark Globe 🌎 inspired Dark Side of the Moon 🌙...
There were a few other ideas he might have Got from Syd's Baby Lemonade such as 'make your name like a ghost' with ' heroes for ghost'.. Also: 'send a cage through the post' with 'a lead role in a cage'... Could be coincident - but.... I'll leave it at that.. Lol
Great Picture of Syd
wish he would have recorded with John Cale
Thank You ! This is great.
I almost want you back. That’s an amusing line! He sounds coherent here. If he was mad or drugged out he wouldn’t be able to sing like this. I’m very surprised as all the songs sound clear and direct.
Good recording!
He had been kicked out of Pink Floyd by this time due to his mental health problems and use of LSD. I have to agree that he doesn't sound mad or drugged in these recordings. However, I understand that some mental illnesses can have their effects felt in waves, and can get progressively worse in some cases, as they did do in Syd's case. Sadly, Syd had left public life by 1972. Things must have got much worse for him by then. From Wikipedia "In 1972, Barrett left the music industry, retired from public life and strictly guarded his privacy until his death. He continued painting and dedicated himself to gardening. Pink Floyd recorded several tributes and homages to him, including the 1975 song suite "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and the 1979 rock opera The Wall. In 1988, EMI released an album of unreleased tracks and outtakes, Opel, with Barrett's approval. He died of pancreatic cancer in 2006. "
I'm sure he did actually suffer from a really bad down mental breakdown but after that he was still himself (not a carcass or an animal like many tend to think). Very possibly used that to his advantage to leave his old life as Syd and spent the rest of his days as an artist in peace.
That's how I feel about my late aunt.
@@dannyd0g Not to forget Wish you were here. The whole album is a tribute to Syd.
I don't believe he was crazy or anything like the sort. Pink Floyd was only supposed to be short lived. The others didn't feel that way. To him it was the same thing they were doing before Floyd. They were formed from an art project.
the best version of terrapin of all in universe
hands down
Two of a kind was bloody brilliant.
I think we are all 2 of a kind really.
No mans land , it is obvious, golden hair, here I go, lets split birdie hop, wined dined, dominoes, no good trying , terrapin, octopus , clowns and jugglers
Brilliant Tunes. Syd Barrett was the founder of psychedelic sound.
syd is the number one..
This is a nice cover. Thanks :) I've always really loved this song.
So influential and...well, enjoyable! Immense Thanks, here. /
Ahead of his time. A true artist.
It's like music from another reality altogether.
down to the beach
to see the blue and the gray
so simple
Thank you for this!
Well that made my day. A beautiful sod wasn’t he.
Syd was complex in his simplicity
Yup
❤️
Cierro los ojos y te lleva al cielo Syd un eslabon suelto mas d este mundo
i forgot Bowie and Trex were influenced under the saturn SyD lampost y'all.
Said it most of my Music life. Tnx
some pnks bands like sex pistols
I listen to public radio in LA, and hv always done this with college stations since the mid-70's. Yes, on acid! Some of this wud work today, since it was always "against the tide." Also, because it's intimate, awkward and anti-corporate, so wud def find a following.
you can hear in his changes he drops down into the "floyd chord" yet he only stays there for a moment, not as long as the original band would eventually go on to milk (not debasing it). great stuff and one of my absolute favs. there's a playful, whimsical air to barrett and he doubles down or hits some lyrics / themes in a way noone else does. his timing altho slightly erratic and sudden at times feels organic... there's a realness if not fantasy.
Legend ✌️
Wonderful.
Terapin is such a great tune! :)
Wot the song called at 7.20 mins please
@@michaelgill1203terrapin!
@@alexvernon7456 tar muchly! I heard in sampled many years ago! It rings round your head for days after hearing!
LSD is to be taken in moderate doses and with respect for the spiritual aspect. We lost one of the most astonishing poets and musicians of our generation due to excessive consumption of LSD. That said, I am forever grateful for what we have from him. 💙💙💙💙💙
Magica respuesta sin saberlo tango hacia lo mismo en la cueva genios ambos
On top of the drugs, he must have had a nervous breakdown, or several. I feel a series of events destroyed his confidence and trust in people. Then he properly lost it later in the mid 70s, was sectioned and made a recovery, of sorts laters
Syd danced to his own beat from beginning to end.
Angel
I love the way syd , played the same songs in different manners. His musicality was so high , he is trully and inspiration for me. And also gave me the notion , you can´t abuse of acid.
i got you,man! You get kick in the butt when you abuse it. Althoough,Syd is one of the kind. hope you the best buddy,Syd and you!
Dilmatroy letintues when Gilmour worked on his solo work with him he said he never played a song the same way twice; everything was utterly fluid
mate he went schizophrenic...
as straight as the bus driver down the block !! see, society always turns these cats into nuts, crazies...bullshit...i had uncles in my family who made this dude look like a choir boy..do not believe the hype..just another cat groovin," on the vibe ...took a wrong turn ? ya, drugs..so what though..it is what it is...
Daniel Brown only cause he was so drugged up he couldn't remember the last version.
Genius !
The more I hear Syd sing I'm reminded of another Brit Bowie .
Bowie copied him. He was a huge fan
Bowie and Eno took so much from him
He actually was still in the game. He still wore pop star clothes for some time. What a very effed up scene in the end. Long drawn out too. His budding talents....here...there....decades ago. I wish I could get it a little better but that’s ok
Yes, its a shame nature is interfered with, to result in this end, but its ok.
Glass can be half full or empty or was the glass there ?only Roger knew...giggling . He never saw them ‘fing’ ...
He was till he wasn’t. I went my whole life hearing he was special and back when I was young (in the 80’s) we didn’t have access to his stuff (other than the first 2 albums) and it was so different than DSOTM so it was hard to compare. As I’ve grown older and now have went back and have an ear for early Floyd and have listened to his solo albums, I have to admit I prefer early Floyd but still love everything they did with Dave. I mean for me Echoes and Animals are exquisite. Live at Pompeii is as much of a masterpiece as DSOTM and The Wall.
thanks.Cos I almost want you back...its a beautiful day....
There is something wrong in Syd's official story, a man with this great performance can´t be demented. The Stars recorded concert was also great , it happened there was a problem with the PA system and the bad reviews written by opinion makers trapped in 1967 ruined Syd comeback. Addicted yes demented no.
Johnny Pissoff recorded?
WAS IT RECORDED????
@@glazinghost5951 ruclips.net/video/WQgnlUEyQXw/видео.html
no... the only reason Sid's music got released at all is because David Gilmour worked it over... i defer to his bandmates as to what his condition was...
@@cliffwebb1621 this is live jackass
Brilliant & beautiful! music well ahead of its time created by a man not ready to compromise with this f----d up neurotic world!
Thanks a lot
настоящий творец никогда не повторяется
awesome picture !
Always love syd❤
1970. That’s three years after the RoPF dropped him like a brick because he had problems. .. These few songs are so much more artistic and interesting than anything PF produced afterwards during their long and commercial times on the road...
agree entirely with your sentiments except this session was recorded two years after he left pink floyd Not three as you stated
@@damiensuil2183 oh, sorry.
It’s interesting that Arthur Lee’s backing band in the naughties were called Baby Lemonade They were the kiddie
Mm hmm... Mssrs Lee and Barrett were two of a kind... it's said that the riff for Love's take of My Little Red Book inspired the riff for Astonomy Domine... broadcast to Mr. Barrett's ears by pirate radio~
Syd!!!
you get this idea syd was taking aim at a world & his arrows are still travelling.........
Syd Barrett is a true Genius
Grooving around in a trench coat with the satin entrail
Seems to be all around in tin and lead pail, we pale
Jiving on down to the beach to see the blue and the gray
Seems to be all and it's rosy, it's a beautiful day
Will you please keep on the track?
'Cause I almost want you back
'Cause I know what you are
You are a gigolo aunt, you're a gigolo aunt
Yes I know what you are
You are a gigolo aunt, you're a gigolo aunt
Heading down with the light, the dust in your way
She was angrier than, than her water shell male
Life to this love to me, heading me down to me
Thunder bird shale seems to be all and it's rosy, it's a beautiful day
Will you please keep on the track?
'Cause I almost want you back
'Cause I know what you are
You are a gigolo aunt, you're a gigolo aunt
Yes I know what you are
You are a gigolo aunt, you're a gigolo aunt
Grooving on down in a knapsack superlative day
Some wish she move and just as she can move jiving away
She made the scene should have been superlative day
Every thing's all and it's rosy, it's a beautiful day
Will you please keep on the track?
'Cause I almost want you back
'Cause I know what you are
You are a gigolo aunt, you're a gigolo aunt
Yes I know what you are
You are a gigolo aunt, you're a gigolo aunt
Thank you for providing these lyrics ~ magical wordsmith from the dimension of the fae and and all things whimsy.

+muriel mottet you're welcome
Just another guy from Cambridge. Syd was not meant for this world. This is really his last session. He is in great form.
I’ve heard recordings from 74 with Syd tho
@@sotis1756 where
no,this is not his last session..this radio session was recorded feb 24th 1970-two days before he began the 'barrett'album sessions which lasted until july of that year.. on feb 16th 1971 he returned to play another radio session-this time for bob harris and his 'sounds of the seventies' show recording the tracks 'baby lemonade','love song',and 'dominoes'
there was nuthin' wrong with this cat...just an artist...everybody gotta turn artists into mad people..he did what he did.....produced ART...as straight as the bus driver down the block..
Are you stupid? He was mad. I love his music and his voice but Syd wasn't well mentally. He trapped his girlfriend in the bathroom for 3 days, he would plug out his guitar on stage and just sit there and made Have You Got It Yet. Get out of here
@@Syfoll You're a fucking idiot. Did you witness the bathroom incident with your own eyes? If not then it's nothing more than a stupid rumour, don't believe everything you hear. Unplugged his guitar on stage? Oh no! How maddddd! Wrote a song called Have You Got It Yet? Ohhh my, where is the psychiatrist, this person has lost it. When in actual fact he was probably just having a laugh and those dumb asses didn't get it (just like you). These songs are proof he was not only together but smarter than you or I. Nobody has been able to imitate his style successfully, he was a genius.
@@struttingbirdlofi couldn't agree more
You're correct. Pretty much all of his contributions to Saucerful LP released and unreleased, and almost half of madcap laughs are really taking the piss on his alleged friends and former bandmates for the treatment of his removal from the band. The man was a genius and an artist in the purist of senses. No more insane than your typical artist of his caliber. Sadly he was surrounded by dogs and pigs and architecture students that didn't want to make art, they wanted money and fame etc. Shame he didn't get to associate with the Fripp's and Eno's that were inspired by him.
@@hovazane4091 well said
such a musically-english mind and voice for me more influenced by the kinks than the beatles
